Arberësh/Albanian Heritage

Arberësh/Albanian Heritage

My mother's father is German, Sioux Indian, Danish, and Arberësh Albanian. His father's mother (my great-great grandmother) was the forebearer of the Arberësh descent. She either was born of immigrant Arberësh parents or was an immigrant. Her family and herself had lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. What I'd like to know is when and where did the group of Albanian immigrants arrive in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. From recent research that I've done, I've discovered that Michigan (which is right next to Wisconsin) is the second largest state in the United States (compared to New York) home to many Albanian immigrants and descendants of immigrants.
